Change Japanese Wii to US Wii possible?

Hello!

As it seems there is little hope for my good old NTSC US Wii (see thread below from me) I am at least starting to look for a new Wii. I could get right now a second hand Wii that comes from Japan at a low price that also seems to be in really good condition.

I heard that there are ways now to install FW from different regions, is that true and this way will I also be able to use the Shop Channel for NTSC U regions?

Thanks and greetings!
